| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| power: the rate at which energy is transferred | Nuclear Energy: The energy stored in the nucleus of an atom. |
| Thermal Energy: The total potential and kinetic energy of the particles in an object. | Electrical Energy: The energy of electrical charges. |
| Electromagnetic Energy: The form of energy that travels through space in waves. | Chemical Energy: The potential energy stored in chemical bonds. |
| Power: The rate at which energy is transferred, or the amount of energy transferred in a unit of time. Power= Energy Transferred/Time | Kinetic Energy: The energy an object has due to its motion. |
| Reference Point: A place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion | Distance SI Unit: Meter (measures the length of a path between two points) |
| Gravitational Potential Energy: Potential energy related to an object’s height. | Potential Energy: The energy an object has because of its position, also the internal stored energy of an object, such as energy stored in chemical bonds. |
| Elastic Potential Energy: The energy that can be associated with object’s that can be compressed or stretched | Speed: The distance an object moves per unit of time. |
| Average Speed: Calculate the total distance traveled by the total time. (Speed= Distance/Time) | Instantaneous Speed: The speed at which an object is moving at a given instant in time. |
| Velocity: Speed in a given direction. If you know the speed and direction of an object, then you know the velocity. | Graphing Motion: Plotting time on the x-axis (horizontal axis), and distance on y-axis (vertical axis). |
| Slope: is the steepness of the line, shows how fast one variable changes in relation of the other variable. Slope= Rise/Run |
